Overview

• Most states let drivers look up and pay tickets online, with options to request a hearing or arrange payment plans or community service.
• Some jurisdictions allow defensive‑driving courses to keep violations off a driving record, depending on the offense and eligibility.
• Ignoring citations can raise insurance costs and lead to late fees, license suspension or even warrants, authorities warn.
• Scam alerts urge drivers to avoid unsolicited texts or emails offering discount links and to use only verified .gov, court or DMV sites.
• In Buenos Aires, objections can start on the city website or via Boti on WhatsApp, require ID and vehicle documents, and a rejected appeal forfeits the 50% voluntary‑payment discount.
